Re: Updating TexLive2016
Hola Miguel, I have TL2016 installed in /usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x96_64-linux and I could open TL GUI as user with 'tlmgr gui' but had no right to update or edit it in any other way. One should think that sudo would help, but it did not. It was only than that I extended the permissions of 'tlpkg' in /usr/local/texlive/2016/tlpkg which solved my problem. Meanwhile you might have seen my complete e-mail (sorry!) and IMHO it shows proof that my action was necessary and correct. Gracias y saludos!

Updating TexLive2016
Hi Kornel, hallo Jürgen, I have TL2016 installed and could call GUI in a console as user. However, I could not edit, update etc. because I had no write permission for /usr/local/texlive/2016/tlpkg. I was advised to call tlmgr as administrator but didn't find out how to do that (su, sudo, xsudo etc. did NOT work!). So, I eventually changed the permissions to rwx and informed Kornel about it. He found this weird and frankly, so did I. https://www.tug.org/texlive/pkgupdat deals with updating packages in TeX Live. It says there that one needs "... a writable TL source tree..."with emphasis on the word writable. Is this not exactly what I did? Thanks and cheers, Michael
